President Lisa Riggs (left) passed on the care of AACN’s Vision to President-

Elect Megan Brunson (right), who will begin a new year with AACN’s next

theme: Unstoppable.

‘Pinky Promise’ to be Unstoppable

If ever a SuperSession could bring

a crowd to tears and then jolt

them back into fits of laughter,

Wednesday’s SuperSession was it.

AACN President Lisa Riggs

delivered an emotional farewell to

her presidency, a year she tirelessly

dedicated to using her voice and her

strength while encouraging us to do

the same day after day.

“I’m totally in awe of all your

professional accomplishments in

nursing,” Riggs said with a quivering

voice. “Sometimes, I have to pinch

myself when I realize that I am in the

company of greatness. I am con-

tinually amazed at all you do to plan

for AACN’s future. It’s changing so

rapidly and it’s so chaotic, but you do

such a brilliant job of it.”

Riggs passes her vision to AACN

President-Elect Megan Brunson.

She’s been an unstoppable force

since she was kicked out of nurs-

ing school in her senior year. From

self-proclaimed “reject” to bedside

night shift nurse to AACN president,

Brunson has resilience, passion and

most of all, grit, which inspired this

year’s AACN theme: Unstoppable.

“Unstoppable is knowing if we

get knocked down, we get up again,”

Brunson said. “Unstoppable is using

our unique talents to expose inef-

ficiencies and celebrate positive,

innovative solutions, no matter

how small. Unstoppable is gaining

momentum from others — pushing

each other to take certification ex-

ams, precept another RN or comfort

a colleague. As nurses, we are Un-

stoppable ‘from the inside out’ when

we practice self-care and stretch

ourselves into the unfamiliar.”

Brunson’s parting words filled at-

tendees with excitement and hope for

the next 365 days under her guidance.

“I am humbled and privileged to

serve as AACN’s 50th president,”

Brunson said. “I look forward to

traveling around the country for the

next year meeting nurses. Nurses

who are filled with spirit and grit,

like me, you, we, us, our AACN

community — who are unwavering,

unmatched and unshakeable. But

most of all: Unstoppable!”

In fact, make a promise to

yourself, your colleagues and your

patients to be Unstoppable. In fact,

make it a “pinky promise,” the pin-

nacle of all promises. This is what

keynote speaker and Poetic Voice

Sekou Andrews begged of attendees:

a pinky promise.

“I trust you will always pursue

betterment,” Andrews declared.

“You are literally in the betterment

business. People come to you so

they can get better … You want to

continue to find new and improved

ways to make people better, but you

can’t … make me better if you’re

not first finding new ways to make

yourselves better. You can’t trans-

form the system for everyone else if

you’re not embracing transforma-

tion for yourselves!”

Attendees left feeling Unstop-

pable with Andrews’ incredible Poetic

Voice, especially with his final words.

“This humanity, this magic you

have, this hope, this care, this love

is what you deliver without fail. You

do what you love and love what you

do. THIS is who you are!”

Turn Weeds Into Wishes

Yesterday’s Chapter Presidents

Luncheon not only taught

attendees how to recognize

and manage burnout, but also how

to cure a much deadlier disease:

adultitis.

“Burnout syndrome itself is the

unrelenting stress that you experi-

ence in your work environment,”

said guest speaker and former AACN

president Vicki Good. She said it

consists of mental and physical

exhaustion, depersonalization and

the feeling of reduced personal or

professional accomplishment.

Nearly 30% of us have had a high

degree of burnout. The syndrome

consists of several internal trig-

gers, such as self-doubt or lack of

“voice,” as well as environmental

triggers stemming from the stresses

of end-of-life care, power imbal-

ances or poor communication.

However, there’s also something

called resilience, and it CAN be

learned.

According to Good, much of re-

silience lies in renewal.

“How do we renew ourselves?”

she asked. “Perhaps it’s meditation,

getting away, or building hope and

compassion for the future.”

And then there’s PLAY. Accord-

ing to Stuart Brown, founder of the

Institute of Play in California (yes,

this place exists), “the opposite of

play is not work — the opposite of

play is depression.” Play is essential

in shaping the brain and fostering

empathy so that we can regain our

most creative selves.

And creativity doesn’t necessarily

mean you’re a great painter or mu-

sician, said keynote speaker, artist

and author Jason Kotecki. It’s just

that our creativity flew out the win-

dow when we developed adultitis.

Key symptoms of adultitis include

chronic dullness, fear of change and

the inability to smile. “Generally,

patients with this condition are not

fun to be around,” Kotecki said.

A self-proclaimed “reminder-

er-er,” he reminded attendees to

remember what it was like to be a

child, when the silly rules invented

over the years didn’t exist, when

we escaped to our secret hideouts,

when play was the dominant part of

every day.

“If you look out your window and

see dandelions, this is bad news for

adults,” Kotecki said. “These are

weeds that have taken over the yard,

‘gotta call the weed guy, this is a

problem!’ But a kid sees the exact

same scene and they see wishes.”

So, take time to play. Find your

secret hideout. Enjoy every minute

of your day. And make wishes.

Design Your Perfect Day

“Every day in the ICU is

magical; am I right?”

Emcee Jon Holmer

opened Tuesday’s SuperSession with

a fluid dance from perfect patient to

perfect procedure and back to perfect

family members who help to make

your day a little more perfect.

“OK, perhaps I’m exaggerating a

bit,” he said. “But it’s fun to dream!

Just keep wishing upon that star,

fellow nurses. Get to work innovat-

ing, and those dreams may become

reality for your critical care unit.”

This is exactly how our Circle of

Excellence award recipients — who

were honored at yesterday’s Super-

Session — choose to make a differ-

ence for their patients’ well-being.

The awards recognize excellent

outcomes in high-acuity and critical

care nursing.

Awardees shared how they use

their voice to enact change within

their units.

One recipient was Amanda Gress

of Duke Regional Hospital in Dur-

ham, North Carolina. “I use my voice

to ignite courage in nurses around

me,” she said, “and to provide

care and support not only for their

patients, but also for each other.

Strong, resilient nurses will allow

the nursing profession to continue

to be a force for our future.”

Following the award presentation

was a keynote by Dan Heath — co-

author of the book “The Power of

Moments” with his brother Chip —

who said he experienced true perfec-

tion when he stayed at The Magic

Castle Hotel in Los Angeles. The

Castle is rated #2 on TripAdvisor’s

list of best hotels in the city, beating

both The Ritz-Carlton and the Four

Seasons. But you wouldn’t know why

from looking at it. Complete with its

lackluster interior, dingy bathroom

and 3-foot-wide balcony overlook-

ing the hedges and an FBI van in a

shady alleyway, it is far from your

image of perfection, Heath said.

However, he said, perfection

comes in its devotion to the power of

moments. Call the Popsicle Hot-

line at the Castle, and a suited man

wearing white gloves hands out pop-

sicles to children poolside on a silver

tray. Free and tasty snacks are always

offered free of cost at the front desk.

You can check out a board game or a

movie from their menu for a night of

family fun. Or drop off your laundry

in the morning; they will wash and

fold it for you — free of charge!

Heath spent the remainder of his

time on stage telling tales of great

experiences created by peak mo-

ments and challenging attendees’

perceptions of perfection. Experi-

ences that can take anyone from

“whelmed” to overwhelmed.

As nurses, we have the power to

create perfection for our patients,

he said.

“The moments that patients will

remember don’t hinge on production

value,” Heath reminded us. “They

don’t have to be dramatic moments.

They don’t have to be expensive mo-

ments. They hinge on thoughtfulness.”

Have a perfect day!

Incubating Bold Nurse Staffing Innovations

We all know that appropriate

staffing is one of critical

care nurses’ biggest con-

cerns. We know that if we had time

away from the bedside to collaborate,

we could probably solve the issue.

“Last year, we told you we were tak-

ing our first step and leaning forward to

fully engage in the effort to address ap-

propriate staffing,” said current AACN

President Lisa Riggs during the “AACN

Roundtable and Open Forum: Advanc-

ing Advocacy for Appropriate Staffing.”

Riggs is cautiously optimistic about

finding solutions. But she acknowl-

edges the roadblocks we face.

“We know it’s probably going to take

us years,” she says. “But that’s OK! We

just have to take that first step.”

Riggs says it will take a bal-

ance of quality and cost to achieve

optimal outcomes. During the past

year — since AACN past president

Chris Schulman announced the initia-

tive from the NTI stage in Boston —

the effort has resulted in the identifica-

tion of broad “swim-lanes,” or areas

of responsibility we need to address.

These areas include elevating aware-

ness of the link between appropriate

staffing and optimal patient care, iden-

tifying examples of staffing successes

and, as Riggs describes it, “incubating

bold innovations and transformative

approaches to nurse staffing.”

An open forum in which attendees

are asked to collaborate and brain-

storm on staffing solutions followed

the opening comments. Co-present-

er Tracey Van Dell, AACN senior di-

rector, asked attendees to tackle the

top factors impacting nurse staffing:

■■ High turnover of direct care nurses

■■ Staffing processes that don’t

quickly adapt to changes in unit

census or patient acuity

■■ Processes that don’t have suffi-

cient coverage for nurse breaks

■■ Number of less-experienced

nurses per shift

The room then began to hum with

critical care nurses deeply engaged in

idea swaps. Attendee Terri Petroff,

clinical manager of St. Anthony

Hospital in Gig Harbor, Washington,

shared how her facility responded to

its troubling one-year turnover rate

of 25% for new hires. They formed a

mentoring group dedicated to retain-

ing nurses after residency.

“We’re just finishing our first 18

months with it, so I’m not sure it’ll

make a difference yet. But it’s our

way to keep the inexperienced en-

gaged and develop relationships,” all

with the goal to build a new nurse’s

skills for success well beyond one

year, Petroff says.

It’s Time to Take Your Next Step

Fifty years of AACN … it’s hard

to believe we’ve come this far

in what seems like no time at

all. But emcee Jon Holmer’s personal

choreography of music through the

years during Monday’s SuperSession

reminded us that, indeed, much has

changed (just how did we go from

The BeeGees to Beyonce?).

Our taste in music may have

changed — and technology has cer-

tainly changed — but AACN found-

ing member Penny Vaughan told the

audience that “the one thing that

hasn’t changed is YOU.” In 1969,

she and a handful of nurses gathered

around a kitchen table in Nashville

and set down a path of critical care

nursing excellence.

“Thank you for walking down the

path with us,” she said.

Pioneering Spirits are just one ex-

ample of nursing excellence. Sharon

Inouye, who developed the Confu-

sion Assessment Method (CAM),

was honored with a Pioneering

Spirit award, as well as a hall-full of

recognition and applause. With tears

in her eyes, Inouye, professor at

Harvard Medical School (Beth Israel

Deaconess Medical Center), holder

of the Milton and Shirley F. Levy

Family Chair, and director of the Ag-

ing Brain Center at the Institute for

Aging Research, Hebrew SeniorLife,

humbly reminded us that, “If you

save a life, you’re a hero; if you save

a hundred lives, you’re a nurse.”

In her address, AACN President

Lisa Riggs revealed just how many

heroes we have: “There are four mil-

lion registered nurses in the US; it is

the 5th largest profession. Talk about

Our Voice, Our Strength!” Riggs said

that hospital leaders need to start

thinking of nurses as an investment,

not an expense. She said hospitals

need to allow nurses time to work

together, away from the bedside, to

come up with new staffing solutions.

“AACN is committed to advancing

this initiative,” she said, “and we are

partnering with many other agencies

and associations to help get us there.”

Riggs went on to share with the

crowd what she has learned along

the way: We must be united in our

efforts. We need to be clear about

our unique contributions. We must

engage and collaborate with partners

in healthcare. And, we must never

forget our true north: the needs of

patients and families.

“Why?” she asked. “Because we

are the voice of the voiceless. Our

patients need us. When Mrs. Norma

Shepherd and that dozen or so

nurses met around that kitchen table

50 years ago, who knew what would

result from that first step?”

Taking that next step can be

scary, though, as keynote Michelle

Poler reminded us. Poler followed

Riggs onstage to tell us about her

100 Days Without Fear project, in

which she forced herself to face all of

her fears. Poler found that instead of

failure, she was really tapping into

her inner strength that was there

all along. Fear is the one obstacle to

achieving our dreams, Poler said.

If we can move out of our comfort

zones, we can change the future.

“Don’t ask, ‘What’s the worst

that can happen?’” she said. “Ask,

‘What’s the best that can happen?’”

Monday’s SuperSession repeat-

edly reminded attendees what can

happen when we are fearless and

take that first step.

What Matters Most in Pediatric Outcomes?

Yesterday’s events included

AACN’s 37th annual Distinguished

Research Lecture. This year, the

spotlight shined on Patricia A. Hick-

ey, vice president and associate chief

nurse at Boston Children’s Hospital.

“Patricia learned, much ear-

lier in life than most, the meaning

of nursing excellence,” said Jean

Connor, director of cardiovascular

and critical care nursing research,

also at Boston Children’s Hospi-

tal. “Simply put, it is her spirit for

discovery, how that has guided her

leadership and commitment to ad-

vancing clinical [care] that is truly

inspirational.”

As Hickey has suspected through-

out her career, patient outcomes

don’t rely solely on treatment regi-

mens, especially for pediatric pa-

tients undergoing congenital heart

surgery, who have more than a 30%

risk of complications. Mortality is a

major concern as well.

“In the early 2000s,” Hickey re-

called, “Linda Aiken and colleagues

began publishing studies about

nurse staffing. The big ‘aha!’ for the

world was that, in adult hospitals

when any nurse cared for more than

four general-surgery patients at a

time, the morbidity and failure to

rescue for every additional patient

increased by 7%.

“I would say that her work was

really the beginning of our national

understanding of nurse staffing,” she

continued. Therefore, Hickey and her

colleagues have spent years ques-

tioning if this phenomenon translates

similarly to the pediatric ICU.

One of Hickey’s early studies did

not replicate Aiken’s findings. How-

ever, it revealed that larger congen-

ital heart programs yielded better

outcomes than smaller programs.

Hickey then expanded her re-

search by assembling an extensive

database comprising 43 children’s

hospitals in the U.S. to find out

what factors make the most differ-

ence in pediatric patient outcomes.

Over the next 10 years, she found

that, in addition to staffing, fac-

tors such as level of education,

number of years of experience and

certification status also impacted

patient outcomes. For the first time

in pediatric critical care, Hickey dis-

covered that, “in those units with

higher percentages of nurses with

less than two years’ experience, the

odds ratio for mortality significantly

increased.”

Born from these findings came

the Complexity Assessment and

Monitoring to Ensure Optimal Out-

comes (CAMEO) acuity tool and the

Nurse Education & Support Team

(NEST) designed to measure cogni-

tive workload, quantify the com-

plexity of pediatric nursing care, and

provide peer-level support in times

of moral distress, all in an effort to

make pediatric critical care nurses

extraordinary.

“Critical care nurses always make

what they consider ‘ordinary’ so

extraordinary for our patients and

their families, and we’re in a profes-

sion with immeasurable purpose and

a remarkably bright future because

of them,” Hickey said. “So, critical

care nurses will continue to lead the

way forward.”

NTI SuperSessions: Inspiration, Entertainment, Motivation

NTI attendees frequently say they come to NTI to be inspired, entertained and

motivated. And this year’s SuperSes-sions promise to deliver.

The week kicks off strongly on Monday, when AACN President Lisa Riggs shares her thoughts on where the nursing profession is today and what she has learned related to the AACN theme “Our

Voice, Our Strength.” Riggs is system director of

regulatory readiness at Saint Luke’s Health System in Kansas City, Missouri, where she has served as director of quality and patient safety, program director of CV quality, clini-cal director of patient care services and as a clinical nurse and clinical nurse specialist.

Riggs will be followed by the fearless Michelle Poler. Born and raised in Caracas, Venezuela, to a family of holo-caust survivors, Poler was accus-tomed to living with fear. But when she moved to New York to pursue her education, she quickly realized that the city was no place for the fearful and set out to face 100 fears in 100 days. Founder of Hello Fears — a platform aimed at making the world a braver place through a mix of live events, video series, podcast interviews and daily inspirational

posts — she has a humorous and inspiring style that will show you how to challenge your comfort zone to tap into your full potential.

Tuesday’s speaker, Dan Heath, has co-written four of the most-loved business books of the past decade: “Made to Stick,” “Switch,” “Deci-sive” and his latest book, “The Power of Moments,” which explores why certain brief experiences can jolt, elevate and change us — and how we can learn to create these extraordi-nary moments in our life and work.

A senior fellow at Duke Universi-ty’s CASE center, which supports en-trepreneurs who fight for social good, Heath is himself an entrepreneur, having founded Thinkwell, an in-novative education company. He has delivered keynotes and workshops for teachers, police, U.S. senators, interior designers, Navy admirals, healthcare leaders, marketers, min-isters and countless executive teams across 26 countries on six continents — and he says he’s still waiting for an invitation from Antarctica.

The celebration continues

Wednesday morning when AACN President-elect Megan Brunson shares her uniquely personal per-spective on bedside nursing. Night-shift supervisor in the cardiovas-cular ICU (CVICU) at Medical City Dallas Hospital, Brunson will also unveil the new AACN theme for the coming year.

Brunson will be followed onstage by what can only be called pure poetry. Sekou Andrews is the world’s leading poetic voice — a presenter/performer who is disrupting the speaking industry in unprecedented ways. A schoolteacher turned actor, musician, two-time national poetry slam champion, entrepreneur and now award-winning poetic voice, Sekou is the creator of Poetic Voice, a cutting-edge speaking category that seamlessly fuses inspirational speaking with spoken-word poetry to make messages more moving and memorable.

So plan to be inspired, enter-tained and motivated by each exciting moment at this year’s SuperSessions!

Welcome to the 2019 National Teaching Institute & Critical Care Exposition During AACN’s 50th Anniversary Year. I t’s great to be back here in Or-

lando, the “City Beautiful.” This is not only one of America’s most

family-friendly cities, it’s also a city filled with wonderful people, beauti-ful parks, fantastic restaurants and terrific shopping. I hope you’ll take the opportunity this week to unplug, recharge and absorb all that Orlando has to offer.

With its education, excellence and inspiration aligned with your needs, I have always thought that NTI is the epitome of Our Voice, Our Strength. Think about it. It’s thousands of nurses coming together for a week to use their voice to strengthen our profession through educational

opportunities, networking pos-sibilities, inspirational moments and plain old-fashioned fun. I hope you and your co-workers and col-leagues will take this time not only to strengthen your relationship with one another but also to forge some dynamic new connections.

Let’s use Our Voice, Our Strength to make this NTI a week of surprise and celebration. I hope NTI 2019 provides the relevant and innovative educational opportunities you need while giving you the chance to renew and restore yourself. Have fun!
